Alan,

I'm not familiar with LAPACK myself, but if you are unable to locate a 
repo with newer versions (suggest checking EPEL), one thing to try would 
be retrieving the srpm (source rpm) and modifying the spec file to use 
the newer source package and rebuilding.  You might run into dependency 
issues that may or may not be trivial.

Best Regards,
Mark
